Describe something you learned in high school.
That was when I learned all things poetry
I was in a place of anger and finding myself.
I didn’t realize at the time what a gift learning poetry would be.
Not that all the different types stayed with me but the ability to write and let out my emotions and feelings.
It would stick with me as my poetry has grown over the years.
The one who taught me poetry still is a woman I admire.
I know because of that class I found my voice even if that is all others will know.
At least I know I was heard and that I believed in myself and my work when it was all said and done.
Now my love for poetry is so much more vital than ever before, and it’s the one thing that feeds my craving to write and create something that leaves me wanting more and to continue to get better.

Sad but I don’t remember anything that I learned in high school. I feel like I began to learn to draw and write while in elementary and junior high (aka middle) school. I continued to learn the how-tos through the library system, which I have expanded on (now also using the internet) ever since. 😀
Yes, the library system online now is helping me as well.
Although when I was in school, there was no online library. 😮 And when I started writing as an adult, I had to carry stacks of books home. If I used a reference book, I had to sit in the library and take notes from it. 😮
Lovely.
